1885-S Sydney Mint Gold Sovereign Victoria Young Head Shield
We created this page shortly after we acquired a batch of just 10 pieces of this these coins. This is the best condition batch of Victoria shield sovereigns we have seen for about five years. The last notable batch we had was 16 pieces of 1872 London Mint shields. These have long since been sold, and we guess it will not take long before this current batch are gone. We have already sold two out of the ten before we managed to create and upload this page.
